was it just an aftermarket piece put on or was it part of a package from a company like asc or the likes.it also looks like it has some kind of wide body kit on it.

I think it is neat. Kind of like a "Back to the Future" "De Laro".

Says its an IROC/Z28. Suuuuuuuuure it is.

Isn't it funny how every ragged out looking SC seems to be a Z28 or an IROC when it comes time to sell?

Take a TRUE S/C and run the Vin thru that decoder - Every S/C shows up as a "Sport Coupe, Z28" in that decoder. I HHHHHHHIIIIIIIGGGGLLLLLYYYYY doubt its a Z28.

ask and ye shall recieve, sorry im a about a week behind

"What was the "Contempo" Camaro?"

"Starting in early months of 1984, Contempo Vans of North Hollywood, California., began offering a custom-bodied Camaro. Major modifications included a fiberglass decklid with louvered wings, wheel flares, rocker extensions, 16-inch alloy wheels with high performance tires, plus a choice of paint schemes. Customers could order the components separately or as a Do It Your Self package. Another option for the customer would be fore the factory to do the work for them."

ive also seen it been called the Z38 camaro, you know foolishly by people who think it is a phantom car or something,
it is defintaly unique and probably rare due to the obvios oppinion of our very acceptive commutinty

i see, right you are, ive been doing way too much working this summer...and my college just sent me a bill too, damn no money for the car i guess, i have to call them and see whats going on with my fin aid, this summers been way too busy, anywho, have you seen the car in person, i personaly like the GTA notches, they are smooth, and add to the lines of the GTA, this one looks much much too bulky and th ewheel flares alos look a bit odd on a camaro, but its only a picture, cars look different when you see them in person, usually better, id defitialy like to see one in person, just for the fun of it, im always looking out for cars, like at work, passes the time, they have car shows in the lot behind the gas station/convinece store i work in, ive seen quite a few intresting cars in and out of there, but no contempos yet, a few nice third gens though, but mainly really old muscle cars and brand new vetts
